Delp's vocals were then recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood with producer Boylan. After Scholz recorded the instrumentation the tracks were then transferred from his 12 track tapes to a 24 track machine in a remote recording truck outside his basement studio to make them compatible with standard professional studio equipment. Most of the instrumentation was performed by Scholz and recorded at his basement studio in Massachusetts. Boylan would have the rest of the makeshift band record some studio arrangements in Los Angeles, to "create a diversion" while Scholz made his multitrack recordings at home. Epic producer John Boylan, who had worked with the Little River Band among many others, made a deal with Scholz. Scholz insisted on doing the re-cuts in his basement. "The material had to be recorded in a 'professional' studio in exactly the same way!" Scholz later wrote. Scholz was satisfied with the demos to the point that he wanted to finalize them to a real album. The demos eventually attracted the attention of Epic Records. Unsatisfied with the live sound, the perfectionist Scholz disbanded the act and instead made demos in his home studio with Delp on vocals and Masdea on drums. Tom Scholz started off jamming in a makeshift band that included drummer Jim Masdea, lead guitarist Barry Goudreau, and vocalist Brad Delp. Worldwide, Boston has sold nearly 20 million copies. The album is the second best-selling debut album of all time in the United States, after Guns N' Roses's Appetite for Destruction. It peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200, and has been certified as selling 17x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2003. Boston is the debut album by American rock band Boston, released in July 1976 on Epic Records.
